If you’ve done your brows at other salons you may have noticed your eyebrows taking on an unwanted reddish or blueish tint months after getting embroidery, you’re not alone. This issue can occur due to several factors, often tied to the quality of the service or pigment used. Here’s why it happens and what can be done to correct it.

Reasons for Color Shifts in Eyebrow Embroidery

Low-Quality Pigments

The most common cause of eyebrow discoloration is the use of low-quality pigments. These pigments can oxidize over time, changing color from the desired shade to red, blue, or even green. This is especially common with cheaper inks that aren’t formulated for long-term color stability. Inferior pigments lack the necessary composition to break down naturally and evenly, leading to unpredictable results.

Unskilled Artist Entering the Dermis

Eyebrow embroidery requires the pigment to be deposited in the upper layers of the skin (epidermis). However, if an unskilled or undertrained artist applies too much pressure and penetrates too deeply into the dermis (the second layer of skin), it can lead to improper pigment placement. Over time, the body processes the pigment differently in the dermis, causing it to shift to red, blue, or even gray hues.

Undertrained Artists

Inadequate training in the application of semi-permanent makeup can result in uneven pigment application and inconsistency in color retention. Artists with limited experience may not know how to properly match pigments to skin tones or control the depth of needle penetration, both of which are essential for achieving long-lasting, natural-looking results.

How to Fix Discolored Eyebrows

At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we offer two main solutions to rectify these issues:

RF Pulse Brow Revival

This cutting-edge technology is an industry-leading solution for eyebrow tattoo removal. RF Pulse Brow Revival uses radiofrequency energy to safely break down pigments embedded in the skin without causing trauma. This method is gentle, non-invasive, and highly effective for removing unwanted pigment from past procedures. It can remove both the reddish and blueish tones that arise from previous poor-quality work.

New Set of Eyebrow Embroidery

Once the unwanted pigment has been removed, a new set of eyebrow embroidery can be applied. At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we offer custom brow designs that are perfectly tailored to your features. Our skilled artists will ensure the new set of brows looks natural and complements your skin tone.

Additional Factors Contributing to Pigment Shifts

Skin Type and Oiliness: People with oily skin may notice that their brow pigments fade more quickly or change color over time. The excess oil can cause pigment breakdown, leading to discoloration.

Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause pigments to oxidize and change color. This is why proper aftercare, including using sunblock, is crucial to maintaining the appearance of your brows.

Chemical Exfoliants and Skincare Products: Certain skincare products, especially those containing acids like retinol or glycolic acid, can interfere with pigments and cause premature fading or discoloration.
